_ #1. It cannot be determined from the notes if the tests were performed in a scientifically acceptable manner.

#2, The results are not adequately documented in the notes. The notes are not dated or initialed and are in pencil

instead of ink. The examiner documents the presence of spiral elements in K1 and Q1, but notes these are abent .

"in Q2. Therefore, there is no documentation of the observed characteristics that allowed the examiner to

determine that the Q2 fibers are.sisal. The examiner also notes the presence of fibers in Q2 that are dissimilar to

K1 but does not report this difference. Review completed at: . : 10:45AM _ (Time), 10/24/02 (Date) Total time spent conducting review (to nearest 1/4 hour): 0.5 hrs.
